Pesquera winery was born in 1972 from the dream of Alejandro Fernández, aiming to create his project of high quality red wines in Ribera del Duero. After 40 years, Tinto Pesquera is one of the references in the appellation. Pesquera wines are the classical picture of Ribera del Duero and this Reserva 2008 shows it powerfully, even though it will be better in a couple of years if cellared in appropriate conditions.

Vintage tasted: 2008 (July 2012)
